Abstract

A machine assembly includes a housing in which a shaft element is rotatably supported by a bearing assembly, the bearing assembly including two tapered roller bearings which are preloadable against each other and having at least one bearing outer ring and first and second bearing inner rings. The first bearing inner ring includes, in one of its axial end regions, a sleeve-shaped extension formed directly from the material of the first bearing inner ring, which sleeve-shaped extension directly contacts an end side of the second bearing inner ring.
